Ask YC: What is a good book about the JVM?
I'm looking to learn some bottom-up Java - any suggestions?
- gojomo 18y agoThe (quasi-?) official specs, "The Java Virtual Machine Specification" and "The Java Language Specification" are about as bottom-up, comprehensive, and dry/matter-of-fact as possible.
